Especially when it comes to your electric bill.

This is my next goal Norma. To go over my electricity bill and see where I can cut down. I've already cut back by buying my new washing machine which is extremely energy efficient and built to wash in cold water. I also got rid of my dryer and I line dry my clothes in the laundry room but Dh is already complaining saying we should hook our dryer back up again and I'm still deciding on that one. I'd like to see a few more electricity bills first. I already use those expensive light bulbs, but I do heat dry my dishes and I know there's more things I could do. Covering our windows would make me sad because you saw them...they are huge. But I may just have to do that. $20 dollars a month is huge in the electricity world! We currently spend $190 a month on a budget plan and I'd like to get it down to $150 a month. We'll see!
